Nortje back into the attack. A single each to Hardik and Dube before the former steers the next behind point for a boundary.

Nortje bowls an effort ball as the bouncer outside the off-stump bounces quite sharply and beats even the wicketkeeper for height for five wides.

Hardik throws his bat at a short wide delivery getting it off the outside half for two runs. He smashes the last ball powerfully down the ground past mid-off for a four, to get 17 from the over.

Ngidi, who took 3/21 in three overs, comes back into the attack. Dube is beaten first ball trying to cut before he takes a single next and Hardik gets one off the third.

Ngidi gives some width as Dube punches it through the covers for a four followed by a dot ball.
